Are some implementations audited more frequently?
Yes, there is a significant disparity in audit frequency and quality. Well-funded projects with established teams will undergo multiple rounds of audits from top-tier firms before mainnet launch and will schedule periodic re-audits, especially after major upgrades. These audits are a significant expense. In contrast, newer or less-funded AVSs might only undergo a single audit or rely on less experienced firms. The number and reputation of audits are a strong proxy for the team's commitment to security and a key factor for restakers to evaluate when assessing an AVS's slashing risk. An unaudited or lightly audited AVS should be considered extremely high risk.
